BE (Breath Exercise)

Are you:
a women ?
a Man ?
a student ?
a worker ?
a house-wife?
a doctor ?
a director ?

whatever you are, whatever you do, i think all of us sometimes feel distress.
working under pressure, under dateline, less income, or something happends out of what we want, .....

remember to do this :
- close your eyes
- take a deep breath slowly, hold your breath for a few seconds and then release slowly.
taking a “deep breath” here means breathing in air through the nose to fill the lower part of the lungs, then the middle part and then the upper part. “Releasing” a breath means exhaling all of the stale air from the lungs through the mouth before taking in another fresh breath .
Do it minimum for 6 times.

If it's the first time you do this breath exercise, when you hold your breath , you may feel a bit uncomfortable in your chest.
but after that you get relax and may be surprised to find yourself getting more work done, with better quality.

Breathing is something most people take for granted. However, most of us do not realize that when we are under stress we tend to hold our breath or take short, shallow breaths.

Limiting our intake of oxygen can have far reaching effects on the body, because oxygen is the most important nutrient for the heart, brain and every other major organ of the body, .
That's why, breathing exercises can be very helpful for reducing stress, relaxing and rejuvenating the body as well as the mind.
